Did Ford make any changes to the 2025 Ford Ranger?
The Ford Ranger was redesigned just last year. The new fifth-generation trucks offer a new turbocharged V6 engine, updated technology, and an off-road-ready Raptor trim model! The SYNC 4 infotainment system, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, are now standard equipment. And Ranger’s blind-spot monitoring system is now available with trailer coverage, helping you switch lanes safely, even when you’ve got your fishing boat along for the ride.
For 2025, however, Ford didn’t make any big changes to the Ranger lineup. Shoppers can choose from three new paint colors (Ruby Red, Desert Sand, and Marsh Gray), which replace three shades that have been deleted from the lineup (Cactus Gray, Iconic Silver, and Hot Pepper Red).
What’s the 2025 Ford Ranger towing capacity?
Properly equipped, the new Ford Ranger can tow max loads of 7,500 pounds! That’s nearly the best a truck in this segment can do, and it’s more than enough heft to transport a small camper, midsize boat, or pair of Jet Skis. The new Ranger can also haul major payloads, maxing out at 1,805 pounds with rear-wheel drive and 1,711 pounds with four-wheel drive.
There are four Ranger engine options, depending on which trim model you select. The Ranger XL, XLT, and Lariat come standard with the base 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine. For more power, you can upgrade the XLT and Lariat trucks with the optional 2.7-liter V6 engine! The off-roading Ranger Raptor is only available with its exclusive 3.0-liter V6, the most powerful engine in the bunch.
Powertrain specs include:
- Turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine (270 hp, 310 lb-ft torque)
- Turbo 2.7L V6 (315 hp, 400 lb-ft of torque)
- Raptor-only turbo 3.0L V6 (405 hp, 430 lb-ft of torque)
- 10-speed automatic transmission
- Rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive
How’s the 2025 Ford Ranger interior?
Thanks to its standard crew cabin, every version of Ford’s midsize truck is roomy, with two rows of comfortable seating. And although the Ranger is tuned for a sporty performance, it does a great job of smoothing over most bumps in the road.
Choose from four trim models — the XL, XLT, Lariat, and Raptor — for the option that best suits your budget and luxury cravings!
